Sinossi

Life amongst the Creole community in New Orleans is a gumbo mix of tropical heat, romance and petty squabbles tied to long-forgotten historical feuds, all of which spill over into the pages of Laughing To Stop Myself Crying.
The dark Manuela employs a voodoo madam to vanquish her blonde rival in romance; Sister Josepha discovers love and no longer wants to be a nun; and behind the Praline Woman's smile lies the heavy sorrow in her heart.
A true pioneer amongst black women writers, Alice Dunbar-Nelson published her first book when she was barely twenty years of age and subsequently became the short story master of her generation. Laughing To Stop Myself Crying, is a compilation of the best stories from 'Violets and Other Tales' and 'The Goodness of St. Roque.'
